3 weeks till Rev It's new motorcycle jeans collection reach our shelves. Read how awesome they really are!
Motorcycle jeans re-thought?
Motorbike jeans have come a long way in the last few years. Several brands are now producing denim jeans that you'd want to be seen in. Rev'It have moved this a step further and made a safe and comfortable motorcycle jean that cares as much about the destination as it does about the journey.
By de-constructing what riders want from their jeans and looking at what was already available in the market, Rev'It have pushed the boundary. They have created a range of jeans that outperform all others in terms of wear, temperature regulation, safety and protection as well as style and design. That sounds like a lot of hyperbole but since first seeing these jeans in production a few months ago, I haven't stopped being amazed at them. I'm pretty sure, by the time you've read all the blogs, you will be too!

Cool Jeans: Coolmax fabric
Rev'It have developed these jeans using two tech fabrics, Coolmax and Cordura. These have been developed to counteract the negatives of Kevlar jeans. If you've ever spent time in Kevlar you'll know that they get incredible hot inside. This is because the protection they offer isn't very breathable. We'll talk about how Cordura is designed to fix this later but Coolmax is the first defence against overheating jeans!
Coolmax fabric lines the denim to make the jeans ultra breathable. Coolmax works by wicking body moisture away from the skin and spreading it over the fabric. The fabric is then fast drying, keeping your temperature regulated. Removing body moisture is crucial to comfort. If it's hot out, the moisture will stick to the skin giving an uncomfortable prickly heat. If it's cold, your body moisture cools quickly and that chill transfers to your body. These motorcycle jeans mixed with Coolmax are designed, specifically to keep you comfy and able to wear these jeans on any occasion.
Cool Protection: PWR Shield
PWR shield knit is Rev It's answer to Kevlar and it works in a similar way to Kevlar. It offers abrasion and rip protection to keep you safe and wrapped if you ever meet the tarmac. However where Kevlar has to be knitted within the denim PWR shield is part knitted and part woven. This gives the jeans more flexibility and thins out the fabric making it more comfortable. But PWR shield has more over Kevlar. The PWR Shield knit and weave technique creates two wafer thin layers of protection that are at their strongest when flattened against each other. Like when you fall off your bike. The two layers mesh together on impact and create a tougher, more resistant fabric. This gives the motorcycle jeans a burn time (skidding along the ground time) of over 5 seconds. To put that in to perspective, a standard pair of 501s has a burn time of 0.51 seconds and Kevlar burns out at around 3.5 seconds.
But that's not all! Rev' It have analysed where the impact points on your legs are when you fall. Knowing this means they haven't covered the jeans in the protection but put it where it really matters. This keeps the trousers lighter and more flexible for around town or the office, makes them better for controlling your temperature and are still strong and safe exactly when needed.
And Finally...
The often neglected posterior! Rev' It have turned traditional trouser making on its head and put the bum first! A new diamond stitching pattern enables much more movement and flexibility when straddling your bike. This should help eradicate the numb pain that happens when you've been sat on your bike for too long!
